I have been reading the bursary information and it states that my husbands contribution is based on his residual income and the following are the only deductions that can be made:

Deductible Expenses used to offset against declared income
􀀗 Employee Pension Contributions
􀀗 Personal Pension / Retirement Annuity payments
􀀗 Other loan interest (if allowed for tax purposes if the person is self-employed)
􀀗 Professional subscriptions and other tax relievable expenses
􀀗 Wages for Domestic Help
􀀗 Maintenance payments made

Do they not take into account living expenses such as mortgage, food, bills etc etc.
